A friend is earning $190K TC in FP&A at 8 YOE and after a few years of trying to break into VC was just offered an Associate role at a T2/3 fund on Sandhill for $145K TC - no negotiation.

I hate when people use the phrase “I would die for (xyz)” when xyz is something no one would actually die for - like a random cute dog on the internet or whatever. I mean, would you really die for that? It’s cute and all, but, no, I would not die for it.

So is the Friday night ritual a pic thread in this bowl?

Any differences in hours between FDD and M&A data analytics?

Sales and Trading vs PE? What is comp, WLB and career trajectory like. Doing my MBA now and likely going into consulting, but not sure. Might plan to exit to PE but if S&T offers decent hours and similar pay, may just skip the whole consulting to PE business.

Anyone here in Restructuring IB willing to connect or provide some insights into the interview process and share some prep resources you found helpful? TIA

How’s comp and culture at Altamont?

Would love to get insight into the level of attrition that you see at PE firms.

How many new analysts/associates can I expect for a GE fund to hire each year? I understand each firm/office has varying needs, but I'm struggling to wrap my head around why anyone would even consider T2 consultants, even at the consulting-friendly shops.

Not enough MBB consultants interested in PE to fill all the ex-consultant spots? Personal goal is to build a fighting chance to exit into GE or MM PE

During a 90 minute model test are you typically expected to build out the full pro forma B/S?

Any firms have a focus on Aerospace and Defense industries? Headhunters always reach out about tech and healthcare firms (as well as more generalist ones), which are great but I’m just not that interested. Only find a few with significant A&D exposure.

Any insights on BX London? Specifically the credit platform (ie the ex GSO guys). Culture/comp/near term roadmap?

Do PEs offer singing bonus or relocation fee?

Anyone here deal with Reines HH before?

Has anyone at a mega fund like KKR or Apollo experienced coinvesting and actually being able to put money into a deal?

How is Oliver Wyman FS -right after undergrad- if you want to exit into PE ?

Any tips on final round airport test fit interviews? Anythings I should / shouldn’t mention (eg gaming hobbies) and anything I should be wary of? Thanks in advance fellow fish!

What does transitioning from entrepreneurship > top VC fund look like? Seems like they usually come in at the partner level, but what kind of background would they need? Would say a 7-figure exit mean much? Low 8-figure?

Do PE firms validate GMAT or SAT scores for offers ?

Interested in working in PE, but experiences align more with the Ops side (3 YOE in strategic value creation). Is there a significant difference in total comp potential between ops and investments roles? Not sure how to make a case to break into investments with minimal DD experience, so thinking about Ops recruitment (Associate). Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

Anyone have a contrarian opinion on a trend / investment theme going on in the private investing world, particularly tech investing? Feels like everything is painted in the “huge growing market with tons of white space” lens.

New associate coming in. Does anyone know if deal flow is slower before Christmas/New Years or after?

How much TC can I expect if I go to a small family shop PE firm in a role that does both investment side and ops side? Trying to see if it makes sense to leave my current job where my TC is around $200k as a senior
